WE regret to notice that work has been suspended on the Mineral Belt railroad, and that the employees will, in all probability, be obliged to sue for their wages. The trouble is said to have grown out of the refusal of the Atlantic and Pacific to make good its subscrip- tion to the Mineral Belt railroad. This amounts to sl75.OO0. The men engaged in building the road have been taken to Flagstaff, and will be made comfortable as possible pending the settlement of the difficulty,

TIE IDdustrisl World, referring tC the proposition that Mexico should coiI an international dollar that would pass at par ID the United States. says:
 "It is manifested that one important effect of such sn international agree ment as is proposed would be to advance the value of the Mexican silver dollar to sn equality with that of the United States silver dollar; in other words, the credit of the United States coin would be guaranteed to Mexican coin. It may be urged that inasmuch as the standard silver dollar of thls country is itself at a discount in comparison with gold, the expansion of that currency by the Bs- sumption of the Mexican coinage would only serve to increase the depreciation. On the other hand, the international ex- change of sllyer by the people of the two countries would undoubtedly have the effect to send to this country large amount of Mexican trade now absorbed by England and Germany. By political affinity as we'll as by neighbOrly oOrlity the interests of the two republics are ID harmony. The money invested in build ing railway lines from tbe boundary of the United States into Mexico, was fur nished largely by the capitalists of thIs country. Citizens of the United States are interested Co sn important exten. iD ihe development of Mexican mines md other improvements in that country These interests of our citizens would be greatly enhanced by uniformity of cur rency values between the two countries and the guarantees of future peace and commercial union would also be in B measure advanced thereby. In any event the proposition is worthy of careful con- siderstion.
